The most interesting bit was highlighted by Matt Levine [1]:
10. WE SUPPORT THAT AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES (AVS) IN DENSE URBAN AREAS SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY IN SHARED FLEETS.
Due to the transformational potential of autonomous vehicle technology, it is critical that all AVs are part of shared fleets, well-regulated, and zero emission. Shared fleets can provide more affordable access to all, maximize public safety and emissions benefits, ensure that maintenance and software upgrades are managed by professionals, and actualize the promise of reductions in vehicles, parking, and congestion, in line with broader policy trends to reduce the use of personal cars in dense urban areas.
As he points out:
> Yes that's right, in the driverless-car future, Uber will be lobbying cities to forbid you from owning a private car that might compete with Uber. Cars need to be in "well-regulated" fleets to "ensure that maintenance and software upgrades are managed by professionals." You wouldn't want an unregulated amateur to be in charge of a car's maintenance! That would be anarchy.
